Radio frequency characterization of 73 devices is used to study the intrinsic and extrinsic capacitances. The total gate intrinsic parasitic capacitance of 0.55 fF/ μm is achieved with an intrinsic gate capacitance of 0.39 μF/cm <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sup> . The various parasitic capacitances are modeled using finite element electrostatic simulations, and semi-analytical expressions are provided.
